SXSW 2026: Hannah Cohen

 Another Luck Reunion artist.  She has a Wikipedia page.  It says:

Hannah Cohen was born in San Francisco, CA and comes from a family of musicians and booksellers. Her grandfather, Bertie Rodgers, was a poet. Her father is the jazz drummer Myron Cohen. Cohen left home as a teenager, soon finding herself in New York and becoming something of a muse to the city's art scene.

She has put out 4 albums over the last 15 years over long intervals. Her latest album is getting rave reviews.  One post on reddit calls it "shades of 70s rock, country, giallo, dream pop, folk and funk."

"Mountain" has a Fleetwood Mac feel.

Here is her live on KCRW

This is good.

SXSW 2026: Angela Autumn

 Playing Luck Reunion.  According to this bio:

Angela Autumn is from old, weird Appalachia. Raised in the hills of Pennsylvania, she now calls Nashville home. The ‘ Rose of Appalachia,’ or ‘Roving Jewel’ as fans call her, turns her hand to clawhammer banjo and guitar. 

Savingcountrymusic says:

Similar to piping up the music of Colter Wall, Sierra Ferrell, and so many other rising artists in independent country and roots, her music is like passing through a time portal. It’s like opening up an old attic trunk, or stepping into an abandoned mill or frontier cabin and beholding its wonders from a place and time distinctly foreign from our own.

"Shooter" is good. 

"Electric Lizard" is, too. It's her most streamed song on Spotify. 

Her voice sounds a little like Nikki Lane in this one.

SXSW 2026: Alex Amen

We saw this guy Sunday morning at ACL Fest. We both really liked him.  Now he's playing Luck Reunion.  Here is the ACL preview


SXSW 2026: Hudson Freeman

First post of 2026. I'll start with your guy. Luck Reunion dropped their lineup so I'll run through all the new (to me) acts.  

He's described as lo-fi folk.  According to this article:

Now Brooklyn-based, Freeman is said to be originally born from evangelical missionaries in Dallas, Texas, lived in South Africa as a child and also been associated with Springfield, Missouri. Currently an enigmatic figure, there is not a great deal else to find about him in the press or online. 

"Good Faith" is one of his latest songs. Reminds me of Big Thief.

"Warm Me, Winter" is an old one. Nice mellow tune. 

This is his breakout song. Very good.
